HENRY GEORGE, in his New York Or
gan, continues with vigor his assault
upon Archbishop Corrigan and the coun-
Gil of cardinals at Rome for their pro-
cedure against DIR. McGlynn. He makes
a considerable parade of Catholic sym
pathy for the reverend doctor, and of
Catholic protest against the interference
of the Italian hierarchy in American pol
itics. But to men who have not followed
the socialistic labor.agitation of the east,
it does not seem strange that the heads
OF the Catholic church were startled by
DR.. McGlynn's advocacy of theory that

The Northern Pacific directors have
voted to expend 100000 in the purchase
of seed wheat, to be loaned this spring to
farmers in the Dakota country west of
jamestown which is tributary to the
company's road-the repayment to be
from the first crop, bushel for bushel.
This sum will 60 far towards supplying
the lack of seed in the western counties
of the Northern Pacific territory in Da-
kota, which results from the loss of the
crop of last season; and the generous &C.
tion of the directory in tte matter is to
be commended, not only for it's gener-
osity, but also because it recognizes the
close union between the interests of the
people and those of the company.

YESTERDAYS TRIBUNE made it appear
that there were still thirteen vacant cells
in the Bismarck penitentiary. It was a
mistake. There were but nine vacant
cells last week, and the clean up from
Judge McConnell's district filed four of
these. This leaves but five vacant cells
to hold those sentenced at the spring

AN ERROR in the TRIBUNE abstract OF
Council Bill No. 1923, introduced by MI.
Hughes, has, as we understand, operated
to prejudice some readers agains the bill.
The orror was in stating the annual ts:S
at one mill on the dollar, instead of one
tenth of mill. The bill proposes to es-
tablish in Dakota county funds for the
relief of INDECENT ex-soldiers, sailors and
marines of the United States, who served
in the war for the Union or in the Mexi-
can war, and for the widows, orphans
and dependent parents of deceased per-
SONS who would have been entitled to
relief under the bill, if living and in need.
Substantially the same bill is pending in
the legislatures of Minnesota and Wis
consin, and in both it has been favorably
considered. The first object of the bill
is apparent. It is to save the men who
saved the Union-and those who are de-
pendent upon them-from the neglect
which would be cruel reputation of
the promises made to them when they
Loyalty gave themselves to save the
Union. The orators who then spoke for
the people promised the voluntees for
the Union cause that they should
have all the gratitude and all the rewards
the people could bestow and that those
whom they loved should be the nations
preferred wards. But there was great
change in the country while the vo]un-
teers were at the front of the war for the
union. The survivors of battle fields,
prisons and camp and march, when they
came home, found their places in the
fields of industry crowded. They had
been away only few years, but such
changes had occurred meantime in them
and among the people they left at home
that very large proportion of them have
never been able to obtain such places in
the world as they might have had if they
had not been the Unions soldiers. The
limited pensions by the government are
all too small for those who are disabled,
and these are only part of the many to
whom the nation owes its life, who have
good reason for fearing that with near
approaching old age will come to them
want and perhaps destitution. Dakota
has gained immensely by the veterans
being crowded out of their old homes. It
is the soldiers territory. But it is rich;
it is loyal and proud; it can afford to be
generous to the old veterans and their
families; and it cannot afford that any
one of it's saviors of the Union shall suf-
fer from want or be supported by COM
mon charities. The bill referred to is
meritorious; it is for the deserving; it
agrees with the popular feeling of Dako-
tans. 1t should be made law.

The division bill, introduced in the
council by President Matthew'S, will
probably have more of interested atten-
tion from all over the territory than any
other measure before the legislature.
Since the election of last fall it seems to
be generally conceded that the question
shall be settled by leaving it to vote of
the people, as is proposed in Mr.. Mat
thews' bill. But it will be objected to
the although it's preamble asserts
need of early action-that holding the
election in June next-with all the con-
ditions and costs of general election
will unnecessarily impose a considerable
burden upon the several counties. The
June vote would be after the present
congress has adjourned sine die, and
would not admit of such discussion of
the matter of division as would be re-
quired to bring out full and decisive
expression of popular opinion. In No.
vember next occurs the annual election,
when in many of the counties some of the
county officers are to be elected; and that
would be the proper time for taking a
vote on the division question. That
would be month before the next con-
gress begins it's first session, and the
time between the passage of the proposed
act and the November election would be
enough to allow all the people to con-
slider the question. There is as yet a
reasonable doubt whether the people at
large have paid much attention to the
matter.

The action of the directors of the North
ern Pacific railroad at their meeting in
New York Thursday, in providing $780,
600 for the purchase of seed wheat for
distribution among the farmers in the
territory along their line west of James
town, was most commendable. It will
doubtless prove good investment for
them, but the benefit it will be to the far
mers and the country is inestimable.
The enterprising spirit with which the
road looks after the interests of it's pat
rons is not surpassed by any road on the
continent, and equalled by few. ~.
IT WAS some time ago that Alexander
Mckenzie, of this city, went to st. Paul
to urge upon Vice President Oakes the
necessity of some steps on the part of
the railroad company for the relief of the
farmers Of the Missouri slope who had
suffered from drouth. Mr.. Oakes was
not slow in declaring himself in favor Of
such action. With his business sagacity
and spirit of fairness and benevolence,
he at once grasped the situation and de-
vised the plan which has been so success
fully carried out. He has always been a
friend of the producing classes and his
counsel has ever been on the side of fair
ness and generosity. While the North
ern Pacific has proven to be one of the
most enterprising and public spirited
companies in the country, no act in it's
history can reach deeper into the graft
tude of the people than this. As was
stated in the TRIBUNE yesterday, the
seed wheat will be furnished by the road,
and nothing is asked of the farmers
further than that they return the wheat,
bushel for bushel, in the fall. The fol-
lowing telegram, received by Mr.. McKen-
zie, Friday evening, is evidence of the in
terest taken in the matter by Vice Presi-
dent Oakes:
ST. PAUL, Jan. %, 1887.
ALEX. MCKENZIE: Our board Of direc-
tors, at a meeting held yesterday, approved
of my plan for furnishing seed to farmers,
and made an appropriation of 100000 f for
this purpose. We will commence the d is
tribution Of seed just as soon as the
weather will permit. T. T. OAKEs.

A CASE has just been decided by Judge
Thomas at Deadwood which will be of
general interest in every county in the
territory. It regards the provisions of
the Especial act' of congress passed last
July prohibiting an excess of indebted
ness in any county over four per cent. of
its last assessments. AS this act declares
that all bonds or obligations issued in
excess of such stated amount shall be
void, the authority for the payment of
the necessary running expenses of the
counties that had passed the limit was
obscure to many. The indebtedness of
Lawrence county had exceeded the limit,
and the county commissioners refused to
audit, allow and issue. warrants for the
payment of the services of it's sheriff for
the last five months of the year. It was
to an appeal from this action that the de-
cision was given. The following is clip
ped from the decision:
must confess that at the threshold of
this investigation was seemingly hedged
about by the inflexible and apparently in
surmOuntable provisions of the act of con-
gress referred to and on which it is relied
by counsel for respondent to defeat the
claim of the appellant; and during the dis
cussion of counsel I have frequently been

tory that Is said to intervene between his

IHE naMOnal Legislative cOmmlttee or
the Knights of Labor has sent to Pres
ident Cleveland brief letter requesting
him to veto the Interstate commerce bill.
They style the bill "the acme Of legal
subterfuge" and as such, the employment
of the best legal talent of the country
will be necessary to successfully prose-
cute any claims under it, thing which
few members of industrious order are
able to do. They also enumerate the fol-
lowing objections as fundamental:
The commission clause, the arbitrary
power conferred upon the commission,
the exclusive jurisdiction given to the
federal courts to hear and determine
causes arising under the act, and the ac-
.knowledged uncertainty as to the mean
ing of nearly all the provisions of the
measure"
1 This bill has been under discussion by
congress and the public for weeks and
these same several objections faithfully
considered by the members of either
house. Some of them were by no means
satisfactorily settled in the minds of some
who voted for the bill but popular clamor
seemed to be for some national legisla-
tion governing railroads and as this was
the amendment Of a bill upon the subject
long ago presented many thought it GER
tainly the best legislation that could be
effected by this congress and at least
would quiet the popular demand for rail-
road legislation. It passed both houses
by such large majorities that with no
change of vote, veto would not prevent
it's becoming law. It seems a little
strange that this committee representing,
as it says it does, over one-tenth of the
people of the United States did not pro-
test before all effective hope was lost and
not come out at this late day when even
the utmost willingness on the part of the
president to comply with their request
would likely bring fruitless result. The
practical motive for the request is un-
known. Tt may be because of the rumors
that the railroads would Immediately
raise the standard of rates and lower the
wages of it's employees by the last of
which they would be most seriously af-
fected if the rumor was probable. An
other theory is that it is done to test the
presidents inclination towards the labor
ing classes. The actions of the president
in the past confirms the opinion that he
will consider both the bill and it's OBJ
jections most carefully and when he be-
comes satisfied to form an opinion upon
it, he will act according to that opinion
and that will be the end of his connection
with it.

The discovery of safe and efficient
tanning agent to take tho place salts
factorilly Of the costly hemlock bark
has long been a desideratum, notwith-
standing the various substitutes which
have been brought forward. Recent
ly considerable has been said of the
discovery made some time since by
an Arizona tanner of plant which
carries large proportion of tannin,
and which, when used in the manu-
facture of leather, is found to give ex-
ira weight TO the article produced.
This plant is Of annual growth, indig-
cnous to the deserts aud dry uplands,
and is known as gonagra. 1t has a
root somewhat longer and more scrag-
gy than the cultivated beet, though
resembling it in appearance, and
practical use has demonstrated its tan
min properties to be about three times
as great as the ordinary oak bark, and
that in all essentials it is superior to
such bark in the manufacture of leath-
er. 1t has now been in use for this
purpose considerable time, proving
beyond question its superior adapt
edness, while in respect to cost, as
compared with bark, it has immense
advantage over the latter.-Ex.

A oHILp.s IDEA OF DEATH.

so white, wan and dropping dying boy lay,
With o far-away, questioning look in his eyes,
As though he'd unveil the mysterious skies.
For q moment he lay in that stiffness that brings
The warning approach OF the rustling OF wings
Then, suddenly, rousing with short, gasping
breath,
He said TO his mother; Mamma, what IA

She stihed the sob and the sharp cruel pain
The question evoked; but how TO explain,
When death stood beside her just waiting 10
grasp
With pitiiess fingers her child from her claspi
But noting his anxiously listening stare,
She smothered her agony, hid her despair;
And, thinking TO shield him from deaths rude
alarms,
She tenderly clasped him as safe, In her arms
And asked him; MY darling, what think you
Is deathf
Awaiting his answer with bated breath;
II came very slowly, his eyes growing dim
All, surely the angels were whispering TO him.
'"Tis falling asleep by the roadside" he said,
And YEARLY laid on her bosom his head.
As only mother can weep, so she wept,
But he on life's roadside rsow quietly slept.
